Meet the ‘plain old guy’ who could end Mitt Romney’s political career

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

From nowhere comes a very interesting candidate.

Mike Kennedy’s “just a plain old guy” who “comes from dirt.”

Mike Kennedy is not really plain or old. He’s a physician, and a lawyer, and a three-term state legislator, a husband and father of eight children. He’s a practicing member of the Mormon LDS Church and an Eagle Scout. And he’s 20 years younger than his opponent.

Well maybe not nowhere, but voters can and mostly will vet the “plain old guy” shtick.
